UW-Green Bay
Assistant Professor
Electrical Engineering
I am an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering program within the Richard J. Resch School of Engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay. I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Memphis.
Since joining UW–Green Bay in Fall 2022, I have taught a wide range of courses, from introductory engineering classes to advanced technical courses and senior capstone design projects. My research interests include biomolecular self-assembly, biotechnology, machine learning, and their interdisciplinary applications.
I am passionate about creating meaningful learning experiences that inspire curiosity, foster active engagement, and connect theoretical concepts to practical, real-world challenges. Through hands-on projects, industry-relevant experiences, and evidence-based teaching practices, I strive to help students develop both technical competence and confidence as lifelong learners. My research has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, including Scientific Reports, PLOS ONE, and several IEEE journals. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new recipes in the kitchen, and relaxing with a good movie.
Teaching and Learning Philosophy
My passion for teaching grew naturally from my academic journey and research-focused career. Coming from a family that deeply values education, with my father dedicating his life to academia, I have always viewed teaching as a meaningful profession with the power to inspire, empower, and transform lives.
At the core of my teaching philosophy is the belief that learning is most effective when students are actively engaged in the educational process. I strive to create a student-centered learning environment that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration, and open communication. Through discussions, problem-solving activities, teamwork, and meaningful interactions, I aim to make learning both engaging and relevant. Building strong relationships with students and establishing clear expectations from the outset are essential components of my teaching approach. I believe that students learn best by doing, and I encourage hands-on experiences that allow them to apply concepts, develop problem-solving skills, and experience the satisfaction that comes from overcoming challenges. Group activities, collaborative projects, and regular teacher-student interaction help foster a supportive, inclusive, and energetic classroom culture where students feel valued and motivated to succeed.
As an educator, I view myself as a lifelong learner—continually refining my teaching practices through reflection, feedback, professional development, and the exploration of innovative instructional strategies. My goal is not only to help students master course content but also to inspire confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
